Quick Start Guide

Quad Display KVM Extender Host Card
Quick Start Guide
The Amulet Hotkey DXR-H4 is a rack-mounted, quad-display KVM Extender Host
card. The DXR-H4 uses PCoIP® for secure, high-performance remote access for
any workstation, laptop, closed or legacy PC. The DXR-H4 sends data to a
remote zero client over a LAN/WAN. Almost any computer supporting USB and
digital video can be integrated into a mission-critical, remote-desktop solution.
You will need:
DXiP rack with PSU fitted;
■
DXR-H4 quad-display KVM Extender Host card;
■
DXR-H4 personality module (RJ45 or SFP variant);
■
cables for video, audio and USB (available separately in 1 m and 2.8 m sets);
■
SFP module (for SFP personality card only). See the SFP Modules datasheet
■
or contact Technical Support to discuss compatible modules.

Preparation

1. If possible, restart the host computers to ensure all updates are complete.
2. If possible, power down the DXiP chassis.

Install the DXR-H4 personality module into the chassis

1. Find the next available slot. If no other modules are installed, we
recommend that the first personality module goes in slot 1.
Note: If using a split powered rack, decide first whether to install the first card in
slot 1 or 7, depending on which Power Supply Unit will power the card.

2. With the Amulet Hotkey logo at the top, align the module with the slot
guides in the chosen slot at the rear of the DXiP chassis. See
3. Put the personality module a short distance into the slot until the captive
screws align with the holes of the DXiP chassis.
4. Push the personality module fully home.
5. Turn the retaining screws (1) to keep the module in place.
Connect the DXR-H4 to the host computer (See
1. For each video cable, connect between the DisplayPort sockets on the host
PC and the mini DisplayPort sockets on the personality module (12).
2. For the USB cable, connect between the USB type A socket on the host PC
and the USB type B socket on the personality module (9).
3. Push the green and blue connectors at one end of the audio cable into the
matching green and blue sockets on the DXR-H4 rear panel (5).
4. Push the green and blue connectors at the other end of the audio cable into
the matching green and blue sockets on the host PC audio panel.
Connect the DXR-H4 to your network (See
For best results, isolate the PCoIP connection from normal network traffic.
1. If used, push the SFP module into the network port on the rear panel (13).
See the SFP Modules datasheet for a list of compatible modules.
2. Connect the network cable from the network port (13) to your LAN/WAN.

Install the DXR-H4 host card into the rack.

To function, the DXR-H4 card must go in the same number slot at the front of
the DXiP chassis as its companion personality module card at the rear.
Figure 3: Install the DXR-H4 host card
1. Align carefully the DXR-H4 card with the slot guides in the same number slot as
the installed personality module. See
2. Make sure the lever on the front of the card is in the 'down' position, out from
the card. See Figure 3.
3. Insert the card into the slot until its connector meets the connector of the back
plane and the connector of the personality module.
4. Push the lever into the 'up' position, this installs the card fully home.
